Good to know, I've always heard the two-colour black/white dicing called "police dice" and associated it with police. Though in truth, it wouldn't surprise me if the "police" headgear was actually extremely dark blue.
Here's the photo I've sometimes used to show the difference between police 'blue' (the shirt) and black (the tie).
The Mackie standard "blue" is pretty much like this.
